BESSIE BEATTY – Obituary

It is our painful duty this week to record the passing of Mrs. Bessie Beatty, the sad event occurring at the local hospital late on Monday night last. Everything passible had been done by Dr. Clarke and staff at the institution for the patient, but at the outset little hope was entertained of saving her life. The sufferer entered the hospital on Saturday last, and death claimed her on the date stated, The late Mrs. Beatty was born at Plattsburg, New South Wales, 51yrs ago, She came to Gwalia with her parents in1920, and since that year has resided in Western Australia, and was married at Gwalia. The deceased lady identified herself with many social activities, was of a most kindly nature, and the loss to the district will be deeply felt. As a mark of respect to the departed, the entertainment fixed by the Gwalia Football Club for Thursday night last was abandoned.
The funeral cortege on Wednesday afternoon also testified to the great regard in which the deceased lady was held; over 40 cars bearing mourners from all parts of the district followed the remains to their list resting place. The graveside service was conducted by Rev. A. Quirk. with Messrs. R. A Taylor, C. Valentine, H. V. Rowe, W. Robinson, R, Irving and W. Tait (senior) officiated as pall-bearers. Wreaths and floral tributes were many.
